    FIRST
    AMENDMENT

    TO THE

    FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION

    SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

    (As Amended and Restated January 1, 2008)



 



    FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
    SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (the “Plan”) by
    the FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION (the
    “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing
    under the laws of the United States of America.



 




    W I T N E
    S S E T H:



 



    WHEREAS, the Plan was restated effective January 1, 2008;



 



    WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
    the Corporation (the “Committee”), with the approval
    of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, implemented the Executive
    Management Compensation Program (“Executive Compensation
    Program”), modifying the compensation structure for certain
    eligible employees with the titles of Senior Vice President and
    above to require mandatory deferral of certain compensation,
    which Executive Compensation Program is anticipated to be in
    place on an interim basis while the Corporation is in
    conservatorship;



 



    WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority granted to the Committee to
    amend the Plan under both Plan Section 8.1 and Resolution
    FHLMC
    2009-03, the
    Committee has determined that it is appropriate to amend the
    Plan to include certain aspects of compensation provided under
    the Executive Compensation Program in the Plan benefit formulas,
    because, among other reasons, mandatorily deferred amounts that
    are provided for under the Executive Compensation Program are
    excluded from consideration under the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
    Corporation Employees’ Pension Plan and the Federal Home
    Loan Mortgage Corporation Thrift/401(k) Savings Plan; and



 



    WHEREAS, the appropriate officer of the Corporation has been
    duly authorized to execute this amendment.



 



    NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is amended, as follows, effective as of
    the dates specified below:



 



    1. Section 2.2 is hereby amended in its entirety to
    read as follows, effective January 1, 2009:

    Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan shall be
    determined at the time(s) of deferral.



 



    (b) Amounts Deferred Under the Federal Home Loan
    Mortgage Corporation Mandatory Executive Deferred Base Salary
    Plan. Amounts paid to an Executive under the Federal Home

    become vested and are distributable under the Federal Home Loan
    Mortgage Corporation Mandatory Executive Deferred Base Salary
    Plan, and only if the Participant is an employee of the
    Corporation at such date(s).

    Matching Contribution, unless the Participant has made the
    maximum contribution described in Section 3.1 above; and
    (iii) with respect to amounts deferred under the Federal

    the calendar year, for any year in which a Participant is
    covered by the Executive Management Compensation Program).



 



    5. Section 5.1 is amended in its entirety to read as
    follows, effective January 1, 2009:



 



    5.1. Basis of Benefit.



 



    (a) The Pension SERP Benefit will be determined based on:
    (i) the Executive’s calendar year Compensation;
    (ii) the limitation set forth in Code Section 415(b)
    (or successor thereto) for the calendar year; (iii) the
    compensation cap described in Code Section 401(a)(17) (or

    covered under the Executive Management Compensation Program)



 



    7. Section 9.10 is added to read as follows:



 



    9.10 Recapture. Notwithstanding any provision of
    this Plan to the contrary, to the extent that a
    Participant’s benefit hereunder takes into account pay that
    is subject to a recapture, clawback or similar agreement, and
    such pay is recaptured, clawed back, etc. under such agreement,
    then benefits provided under this Plan that were based upon the
    recaptured pay shall be either (a) repaid by the
    Participant (or his Beneficiary as determined pursuant to
    Section 6.3(c)) to the extent previously distributed or
    (b) cancelled by the Administrator, to the extent not yet
    distributed.
